Lanta SummerHouse, is a typical beach-side bungalow resort with three bed air-conditionedbungalows. The restaurant is in the lower price range but the offerings, whileextensive, are very watered down: they don't do spicy. Poolside bungalows from800 baht per night. Nice and friendly staff.
Accommodation
Ko Lanta has three tourist seasons: low, high andpeak. Visiting in the low season (May to October) is likely to be very quietindeed: so quiet in fact that you'll have difficulty getting accommodation asmany of the resorts shut down. The resorts open for the high season in Novemberand close in May. The peak season is from mid-December to the end of Januaryand at Songkran in April; per-night prices may increase by as much as 600 baht.Getting accommodation at a day or two's notice during the high season isusually not a problem, but may be difficult during the peak period.
Usually, however, you'll find touts more than happyto help you find somewhere to stay, from Krabi pier onwards. The places furtheraway offer free transport and are much cheaper (100 baht for a spotless beachhut with bathroom), but the beach may not be so attractive.
